NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center today celebrated the opening of the Jill Roberts Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Made possible through a gift from Jill Roberts, a longtime friend and patron of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Medical College of Cornell University, the Center will support patient care, research and educational outreach focused on the conditions of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

The Center is led by Ellen J. Scherl, M.D., who said, “The Roberts Center will allow us, more than ever, to uniquely offer IBD patients the multidisciplinary treatment and care they need — all in one building.”
